No, never mind, let me correct that again! The running of the end credits from the original show confused my brain -- "Wailing Wall" is immediately followed by "Pornography." Bonus cut!

...and the version of "A Forest" listed at the end of the Old Grey Whistle Test set is from another appearance when Thornalley and Anderson were still in the band, but isn't from the AlabamaHalle show.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 10 February 2006 02:01 (eighteen years ago) link

Whoops -- I'll update the artwork tomorrow and post a new YSI link. If anyone notices any other errors, please post them.

― Petroski (petroski), Friday, 10 February 2006 03:14 (eighteen years ago) link

Dang, the Washington 84 show is good stuff. Love the version of "Primary!"

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 10 February 2006 19:01 (eighteen years ago) link

Is today going to be the day when I can listen to disc 2 all the way through without interruption??? WE'LL FIND OUT!

― Dan (I'm Going In) Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 10 February 2006 19:04 (eighteen years ago) link

It really should be the day, yes.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 10 February 2006 19:06 (eighteen years ago) link

FOILED BY TRACK 3

UPDATE: I still don't like "Push".

― Dan (Stupid Song) Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 10 February 2006 19:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Hahahah.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 10 February 2006 19:56 (eighteen years ago) link

If you want to get in on the action let us know. I'm going to help burn the DVD for a quite a few ILMers next week, along with the audio. Ned may have a few slots left and I haven't put a cap on how many I will do as of yet. If the demand is too great and starts to cost too much money than I will rethink that but right now is the time to let us know if you are interested in a copy of this collection.

― BeeOK (boo radley), Saturday, 11 February 2006 09:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Sorry everyone, something major has come up. So I'm not going to be able to get to this for about another week...again sorry but real life is a bitch right now.

― BeeOK (boo radley), Thursday, 16 February 2006 09:46 (eighteen years ago) link

mine still hasn't turned up :(

― kit brash (kit brash), Thursday, 16 February 2006 11:12 (eighteen years ago) link

mine either..

― Baaderonixx, born again in Xixax (baaderonixx), Thursday, 16 February 2006 11:24 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm going to try and get this done asap for you guys who are waiting. Real life got in the way for a bit but should have the burns done by the end of the week if everything goes as planned.

It's also not too late for those who have missed this thead but the door is closing. E-mail me if interested...

― BeeOK (boo radley), Sunday, 26 February 2006 09:25 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm drunk! i'm going to put on the cure, not joy division.

― fortunate hazel (f. hazel), Sunday, 26 February 2006 09:50 (eighteen years ago) link

still hasn't turned up :(²

― kit brash (kit brash), Sunday, 26 February 2006 18:41 (eighteen years ago) link

I'd like to get involved with this. Is it strictly a "hard copy" thing, or would it be possible for the discs to be ripped and then distributed as files via YSI? Or is that going against the spirit of the project?

― cdwill (cdwill), Sunday, 26 February 2006 21:01 (eighteen years ago) link

Hard copy is simply the most practical given the file sizes on the four main discs themselves -- that said, presumably if someone wanted to make a torrent using FLAC or a similar standard, then it could circulate that way. Don't know how useful that would be for the DVD, though.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 26 February 2006 21:13 (eighteen years ago) link

I'd be willing to create a torrent of these in FLAC, but the source files would have to be .wav files, or else encoding to lossless would be pointless (and not truly lossless)- I'm not sure what the source(s) of these tracks are, format-wise.

The DVD would have to travel separately from the audio tracks on most or all torrent sites, but I guess they could be cross-referenced or something.

― cdwill (cdwill), Sunday, 26 February 2006 21:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Ah, you need to read the thread over, my friend. ;-) mzui was very specific about getting these directly from non-mp3 sources -- there is the bonus mp3 disc, but that was initially separate.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 26 February 2006 21:24 (eighteen years ago) link

I wasn't clear: I saw that he's recording from master recordings, but if the discs themselves weren't .wav files burned to disc (but instead were .wav --> .mp3 --> burned to disc), they couldn't be ripped from disc and encoded to FLAC and be truly lossless.

― cdwill (cdwill), Sunday, 26 February 2006 21:36 (eighteen years ago) link

*blink* Okay, call me hopelessly naive perhaps, but surely the context of all his posts was to indicate that he was finding those master recordings to burn WAV/AIFF files to disc rather than burning mp3s reconverted to audio files.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 26 February 2006 21:40 (eighteen years ago) link

I'd assume so, but I didn't see anything specifically mentioned about it.

― cdwill (cdwill), Sunday, 26 February 2006 21:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Guess what I have in my hot little hands. So anyone waiting for Ned (because I’m burning the DVD’s for him) or myself, the wait is almost over. So if everything goes as planned I will be burning all weekend and get these out on Monday or Tuesday. Thanks for being patient but it’s almost time.

BTW, the DVD kicks ass, we really need a part two to that because it’s so great and also really only goes through The Top era with only a couple of songs past that point.

Regardless BIG props to Mzui for this amazing collection! Thanks also to ILM for contributing the songs to this collection as it’s something special.

― BeeOK (boo radley), Saturday, 4 March 2006 01:56 (eighteen years ago) link

still hasn't turned up :( ³

― kit brash (kit brash), Saturday, 4 March 2006 05:38 (eighteen years ago) link

(xpost) Very excited!! i love the sorta-goofy-yet-completely-awesome Thornalley/Anderson lineup of the band.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Saturday, 4 March 2006 09:26 (eighteen years ago) link

still empty handed here :(

― kephm (kephm), Saturday, 4 March 2006 21:00 (eighteen years ago) link

Done!

I will try and get this off to everyone today but most likely tomorrow. The thing is I have burned an extra set. So the reason for bumping this thread is to ask if anyone wants it? If so e-mail me at the address below and we will go from there.

― BeeOK (boo radley), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:49 (eighteen years ago) link

not fair! let the original list get theirs before the blow-ins!

― kit brash (kit brash), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 00:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Still nothing here :(

― flowersdie (flowersdie), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 09:53 (eighteen years ago) link

me neither :(

― Le Baaderonixx de Clignancourt (baaderonixx), Thursday, 9 March 2006 09:44 (eighteen years ago) link

Boy, is this thing mighty. Thanks, mzui and baaderonix and BeeOK and all involved.
And did anyone notice the guy playing bass in the Munich '84 concert isn't Phil Thornalley. It's some guy named Norman Fisher Jones. Who he? Love his Mick Karn'ish head bopping, as Ned noted above.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Thursday, 16 March 2006 02:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Don't know why I thanked you there, Baaderonix but - er -

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Thursday, 16 March 2006 02:46 (eighteen years ago) link

I thought that it should be hitting mail boxes around now. It's amazing, that is for sure, and you are welcome.

Whoa, weird. (Am about to give another copy to a friend of mine around here, rah. Thanks again, BeeOK!)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 16 March 2006 03:01 (eighteen years ago) link

Back at you Ned, glad to see that they made it home saftly.

― BeeOK (boo radley), Thursday, 16 March 2006 08:27 (eighteen years ago) link

OH COME ON ORIGINAL LIST PEOPLE AND ACTUAL CONTRIBUTORS FIRST PLEEEEASE

― kit brash (kit brash), Thursday, 16 March 2006 12:21 (eighteen years ago) link

we're the lost generation...

― Le Baaderonixx de Benedict Canyon (baaderonixx), Thursday, 16 March 2006 13:47 (eighteen years ago) link

I admit I'm a bit curious and sad about this strange delay for you guys! :-/

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 16 March 2006 15:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I promise my blank discs are on the way soon Ned and BeeOk. I haven't gotten a chance to go buy a DVD-R, but it will happen.

― matt2 (matt2), Thursday, 16 March 2006 17:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah I still haven't seen mine, either. I did the artwork! I used my very own pirated copy of Photoshop and everything!

― Petroski (petroski), Thursday, 16 March 2006 20:52 (eighteen years ago) link

mzui said they'd be rolling out slowly as time and finances allow.

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 17 March 2006 12:51 (eighteen years ago) link

Anyone in the UK looking for a copy can email me.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 17 March 2006 13:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes, but it would be nice if Ned and Bee could have held off on making copies for non-contributing people until the original list had gotten theirs.

― kit brash (kit brash), Saturday, 18 March 2006 02:34 (eighteen years ago) link

I can understand your frustration. Things came up all the time so it still took about a month for me to get anything done anyways. I felt bad to these people that I promised because it took that long.

If there is anything I can do to help get this out to people e-mail me at the address below so we can work out something, if there is still a problem.

― BeeOK (boo radley), Saturday, 18 March 2006 09:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Holy awesomeness. (Thanks for the burn, Ned)

― remy (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 00:05 (eighteen years ago) link

Yez welcome. (I should note that if I knew the angst this was all going to cause I would have refrained from burning for other folk for a bit! I'd volunteer to get them to those still in need but since I've no DVD burner Bee and Onimo are probably better candidates in the end.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 00:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Offer is still open because of these problems...

― BeeOK (boo radley), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 09:54 (eighteen years ago) link

So is it over then for us, the lost tribe of the first generation?
